Involving the Public and Governments in Sustainable Renewable Energy Initiatives

The transition to sustainable and renewable energy is a global imperative to combat climate change and ensure a viable energy future. However, the success of these initiatives largely depends on the collaboration between the public and governments. Active inclusion of these key stakeholders is crucial for creating meaningful and lasting change.

First and foremost, involving the public in renewable energy initiatives helps create collective awareness. By educating citizens about the importance of clean energy and raising awareness about the environmental, social, and economic benefits, we foster the adoption of eco-friendly behaviors. Public engagement generates positive momentum that can support the implementation of policies and projects conducive to renewable energy.

Additionally, government participation is essential to creating an environment conducive to the development of renewable energy. Favorable government policies, such as tax incentives and regulations encouraging clean energy, are indispensable. Governments can also play a crucial role in building suitable infrastructure and facilitating research and development.

The involvement of both parties creates a mutually beneficial synergy. The public, by expressing its needs and concerns, can influence policy decisions and encourage the adoption of greener policies. On the other hand, progressive energy policies and well-articulated government initiatives can inspire enthusiasm and active participation from the public.

In conclusion, the transition to renewable energy cannot succeed without active participation from both the public and governments. Close collaboration creates positive momentum, promoting the adoption of sustainable lifestyles and facilitating the implementation of policies supportive of an ecological energy transition. The involvement of all stakeholders is the key to a sustainable and resilient energy future.

Kakara

The Kakara Hybrid Hydro-Photovoltaic Project in Guinea is located downstream of the Fatala River, 143 km from the capital Conakry, 36 km from Boffa, and 10 km from the village of Lisso. The project consists of a hydroelectric power plant and a photovoltaic power plant, with a total installed capacity of 120 MW and a multi-annual average total electricity production of 394 GWh. Of this, the installed capacity of the hydroelectric power plant is 70 MW (35 MW x 2), with a multi-annual average of 4314 hours of production, and a multi-annual average production capacity of 302 GWh. The installed capacity of the photovoltaic power plant is 50 MW on the AC side. The first year of electricity on the grid is 99 GWh, with equivalent full-load hours of 1852.7 hours. The annual average electricity on the grid over 25 years is 92 GWh, with an annual equivalent of full-load hours being 1719.9 hours.

Photovoltaic power plant

The photovoltaic power plant is located on the left bank of the hydroelectric power plant, covering an area of approximately 0.8 km², with a planned installed capacity of 50 MW on the AC side. This project includes the construction of a 225/30 kV substation, whose main task is to step up the generated voltage. The first year of electricity on the grid is 99 GWh, with equivalent full-load hours of 1852.7 hours. The annual average electricity on the grid over 25 years is 92 GWh, with annual equivalent full-load hours of 1719.9 hours.
